Heart

I have a quick question,has anyone on this forum had a stent put in their heart  while they still have a Pace Maker? My doctor wants to do a catherization to make sure I don't have a heart blockage. I thought the Pacemaker would prevent this from happening. I am nervous about having stents as well as a PM.

The pacer fixes electrical problems, sends the impulse to beat when the hearrt doesn't do it on its own. Stents fix plumbing problems, clogged arteries.

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
